Where to drop off your Christmas tree

The city of San Antonio no longer collects Christmas trees curbside, but you can recycle them this weekend and next.

Just take your regular or flocked tree to any of the 20 drop-off locations across the city from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Jan. 7-8 and Jan. 14-15 — that’s this coming Saturday and Sunday and next Saturday and Sunday.

The Solid Waste Management Department asks that before dropping off your tree, you remove all the ornaments, lights, stands, nails and plastic wrapping and cut trees taller than 6 feet in half.

You can also pick up mulch (while it lasts) at the drop-off sites. If you can’t make it to one of the drop-off sites, trees are welcome through the end of January at the Bitters Brush Recycling Facility, 1800 Bitters Rd. (map, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday through Thursday.
